This is the best-preserved Roman relic in the city, and has three columns with Corinthian capitals raised on top of podiums. The temple was built in the 1st century BC and, as its name suggests, it was dedicated to the worship of Emperor Augustus. It was 37 metres long and 17 metres wide, and the front contained six columns (hexastyle temple). It was originally a pagan temple, located in what used to be the center of Roman Barcelona. Don't miss this chance to explore one of the last traces of the Roman town known as Barcino, upon which the medieval city was based. The three columns from the Temple d'August are inside the Centre Excursionista de Catalunya.
